Haemonetics Reports Adjusted Earnings per Share of $0.74 for Q1 of Fiscal 11 Company Affirms Full Year Guidance
BRAINTREE, Mass., Aug 02, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE: HAE) today reported GAAP net revenues of $163 million, up 6%, net income of $18 million, down 1%, and earnings per share of $0.70, up 1%. Excluding transformation costs in fiscal 11, adjusted first quarter net income was $19 million, up 5%, and adjusted earnings per share was $0.74, up 7%. In constant currency, revenue was up 8%, adjusted net income was up 30% and adjusted earnings per share were up 32%. (1)
As expected, the quarterly growth in both revenue and net income were adversely impacted by trends in both foreign currency hedge rates and Q1 plasma growth rates. The Company expects the currency headwinds to moderate and plasma growth to accelerate throughout the remainder of the year. The adverse impact of currency on net income growth in the first quarter was $2.9 million. Based on currency hedges in place for the remainder of the year, the full year adverse impact of currency on net income growth is currently expected to moderate to $1.3 million. Plasma, which is expected to grow 6-8% for the full year, declined 5% in the quarter when compared to particularly strong growth in Q1 of fiscal 10. (1)
In addition to revenue and earnings growth, Haemonetics reported adjusted gross margin of 53%, up 70 basis points, and adjusted operating margin of 15.9%, down 70 basis points from the fiscal 10 finish. Annual operating income guidance, which reflects full year hedged currency trends, calls for double digit operating income growth for the year. The Company managed adjusted operating expenses to $60.5 million, up $3.9 million from levels in Q1 of fiscal 10. Incremental spending is associated with the Company's recent acquisitions, ($3 million) and its automated whole blood and Arryx blood typing initiatives. (1)
Brian Concannon, Haemonetics' President and CEO, said, "We are off to a solid start in fiscal 11 posting top and bottom line growth while dealing with anticipated Q1 headwinds in plasma growth rates and currency. As currency headwinds moderate and Plasma accelerates we will see favorable trends in the last three quarters that give us confidence about achieving our commitments for the year."
The Company affirmed its full year guidance of 9-12% revenue growth, adjusted operating income growth of 11-14%, and adjusted earnings per share in a range of $3.15 to $3.25.(1)
STRATEGIC AND SEGMENT GROWTH HIGHLIGHTS
Haemonetics continues to make progress expanding its business. The Company reported the following highlights:
- A recently signed agreement with Consorta, a Group Purchasing Organization which represents 11 Integrated Delivery Network shareholders with 260 acute care hospitals and an additional 270 affiliated acute care facilities, to provide IMPACT(TM) Online, the Company's web based portal that enables blood management analysis and decision making. The agreement will allow Haemonetics to target specific members of Consorta's network that will leverage the scalability and simplicity of IMPACT Online as a key component of the hospitals' approach to blood management.
- Enabled by Haemonetics BloodTrack(R) HaemoSafe, the Puget Sound Blood Center and Overlake Hospital Medical Center announced their partnership to launch a new blood distribution system. This is a unique collaboration between a blood center and hospital, designed to improve the availability and access to blood components.
- 24 new IMPACT customers in Q1 fiscal 11 bringing the total number of IMPACT customers to 90, driving acceleration in key product lines evidenced by a 24% Q1 growth rate for TEG(R) disposables.
- The Global Med acquisition integration is proceeding well against the planned schedule and budget.
- During Q1, Haemonetics completed its planned $50 million share repurchase acquiring approximately 900,000 shares.
Mr. Concannon added "We have also made excellent progress against our goals for blood management with 90 IMPACT accounts by the end of the first quarter and more recently the signing of a system wide agreement for blood management with Consorta. Our value proposition is taking hold in the markets we serve and represents a strong catalyst for growth this fiscal year. Combine continued growth from IMPACT selling, with currency moderation and Plasma acceleration, and you can see why I remain very confident about achieving our current guidance"
As noted, Haemonetics' first quarter fiscal 11 reported revenues were $163 million, up 6%. Excluding the effects of currency, revenues grew 8%. Reported revenues break down as follows:
Plasma disposables revenue was $55.9 million for the quarter, down 5%. Haemonetics' plasma business declined in the first quarter when compared to a strong Q1 of fiscal 10 as anticipated. Haemonetics expects its plasma business to return to low single digit growth in Q2, ramping to low double digit growth in the second half of the year.
Platelet disposables revenue was $36.3 million for the quarter, up 6%. The platelet business benefited from strong sales in Asia and a recovery in our distribution markets in Europe and Latin America.
Red cell disposables revenue was $11.3 million for the quarter, down 4%. Revenue declined due to decreased demand for red cells as a result of declining demand for blood.
Surgical disposables revenue was $16.4 million for the quarter, down 6%. The surgical business was adversely impacted by trends in currency spot rates.
OrthoPAT(R) orthopedic perioperative autotransfusion system disposables revenue was $9 million for the quarter, up 4%. The Company continues to make progress advancing OrthoPAT system sales in IMPACT accounts.
Diagnostic disposables revenue was $4.7 million for the quarter, up 24%. Revenues related to the TEG Thrombelastograph(R) Hemostasis Analyzer business are accelerating driven by the Company's IMPACT accounts.
Software Solutions revenue was $16.5 million for the quarter, up 95%. Software Solutions growth was primarily impacted by our Global Med acquisition. Underlying organic growth of our core software business was 9% in the first quarter.
Equipment revenue was $13 million for the quarter, up 20%. Equipment growth was impacted by the SEBRA(R) acquisition. Organic equipment growth in the quarter was 5%.
Haemonetics reported growth in all geographies for the quarter, with North American sales up 6%, European sales up 2%, Japanese sales up 2%, and Asian sales up 30%.

Haemonetics Corporation Financial Summary
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Haemonetics has presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures
as part of this earnings release. A reconciliation is provided
below that reconciles
each non-GAAP financial measure with the most comparable GAAP
measure. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should
not be considered
in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most directly
comparable GAAP measures. There are material limitations to the
usefulness of non-GAAP
measures on a standalone basis, including the lack of comparability
to the GAAP financial results of other companies.
These measures are used by management to monitor the financial
performance of the business, inform business decision making, and
forecast future results.
Performance targets for management are established based upon these
non-GAAP measures. In the reconciliations below, we have removed
restructuring
and deal integration costs from our GAAP expenses. Our restructuring
is related to the integration of Global Med Technologies and the
repositioning of our
sales force. We believe this information is useful for investors
because it allows for an evaluation of the Company with a focus on
the performance of our
core operations.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the
level of total gross profits without the costs of our business
transformation. We
establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance targets on this
basis.
Non-GAAP S,G&A and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses
The use of this non-GAAP measure allows management to monitor the
ongoing level of spend that is necessary to support the business in
a period when
we are not transforming our business or completing an acquisition of
in-process research and development. We establish our budgets,
forecasts, and
performance targets excluding these costs.
Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Income before Income Taxes
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the
level of operating and total pre-tax profits without the costs of
our business
transformation. We establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance
targets on this basis.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Earnings per Share
The use of these non-GAAP measures allows management to monitor the
level of net income and earnings per share excluding both the costs
of our
business transformation, as well as any related tax effects. We
establish our budgets, forecasts, and performance targets on this
basis.

measures. We measure different components of our business at

rates. These results convert our local foreign currency operating
results to the US Dollar at constant exchange rates of $1.20 per
Euro, and 110 Yen
to the $1.00. They also exclude the results of our foreign currency
